No, but I did go into town, and it's always fun to get away from camp, even for an hour!

You kissed Rick Fox!?
This was another great episode of Dollhouse, and I love the pacing of the show in it's final episode, not to mention the continual theme of the fluidity of identity (Caroline's undeclared major and twice suggestion that she wants to do everything, not narrowing her life but broadening it. Also,…

Wet Hot American Summer
I once took a job at a summer camp because it was where they filmed Wet Hot American Summer. I mean, it wasn't what made me apply, but I probably wouldn't have accepted had I not rented the movie the night before I was set to leave and noticed it was "filmed on location at (where I was…

PBS stole the Big Comfy Couch from ME… I mean, HIM!

Nicholas Fehn
This interview was like Nicholas Fehn crossed with the grumpy old man from Monster House infused with weird conservative pop-psychology.

Maybe I'm just doing the thing people do, justifying their time on Earth was well spent to themselves and projecting it onto the internet, but I too disagree, having seen them ten times in the past twelve years. Every time they bring something new and interesting to the table, and it's always a high energy, very fun…

I'm less curious about the disagreement than I am about whether or not this was a different cut of the film.

Mr. Mistletoe
How about Stephen Merritt's Mr. Mistletoe?

Gondry/Godard?
While watching Michel Gondry's very underrated "The Science of Sleep." I couldn't help but think there was more than the occasional homage to Godard (though the time machine as a reference to the jump cut surely qualifies). The film played around with style, cinema, genre expectations (it constantly…

Yeah, that was a blast. Come back to New York any time. Quick, release a new book so that you can promote it. And sign that book in an awesomely personable way.

I wonder how the internets are going to argue against personal drink choices?
Also, startling lack of beers. I go for a nice Yuengling Lager.

@joey

Anyone hear the covers?
Outside of the comment on the direction, which I remember loving when I saw the movie years ago, I'm totally with you- it plays even better on the stage. I saw it in Philadelphia in around '02 or '03 and it worked so well as a one-person show. I wish Mitchell made more than two films every six…

Hi, How Are You? App
I've had it for a while now, and I got to say, it's a pretty fun game (assuming you adjust the control settings). It meshes with Johnston's art style really well (it basically IS his art style) and the music is all Johnston. I wish there was more music, but it's a dollar so whatever.

A New Sub-genre?
This movie looked to me a lot like that terrible movie "The Good Son," so I looked it up, and it's from the same director as The Stepfather. And the two have a lot in common. Both about evil killers who are looked at as swell in the eyes of everyone but one person who isn't believed cause of a…

I liked the idea of it without enjoying it until I learned you could turn off the tilt controls. Now I love it.

I can't wait to get my copy…
…as soon as my copy of I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell arrives.

4. Just 4.
And only two in theaters (Christmas with the Kranks and Epic Movie) and ONLY because I was writing about them. Both despicable films.

If only I lived in Chicago
and not near New York where there are NO internships ANYWHERE.

Velcome to de MIKE Show!
There was a hilarious bit about this on The Best Show this past Tuesday. It's definitely worth listening to.
